Well russia and europe have had the game 5 months, i can fly my bird in full realism so i would imagine most others can, the online experience is very frustrating and most can only handle 20-30 mins at a time, it looks awful with the tree's off and there is no co-op play, I would imagine thats more the reason people are not flocking to play online rather than what you suggested Chivas. Also the fact that your opponent can simply press esc and create a new plane at any time during a battle leaving you fighting an empty aircraft is also sending people away. Nice work.
